Bento 15

Hold On, Here it Comes.

New Semester, New Courses. All New Bento's.

Here we go, Picture the first day of a New Semester, Fresh Start. It should be joyful and revitalizing, a motivator to succeed, waking up early prepared to start the day...

Too bad my Monday morning wake-up call was unwelcome and less then timely. I was rushed into my morning routine at the sound of a late alarm, and had to rush to throw cloths into the dryer and to pull the curlers out of my hair (think a bed-head of Grannie-Curlers toddling round a mess laundry room) and was glad to find my Bento from the night before waiting for me to fetch it for lunch (unlike the city bus).

Here it is, in the blue cup we have carrots and celery. Under that is a red cup of shredded pinapple (leftovers), a tin of butter-flake-cake, in the green cup a riccotta serving with tiny cheese cube. Wedged in between things are blueberries, a piece of leftover chicken, raspberries and the piece-de-resistance, Apple Bunnies! These are just apple slices with the peel turned to look like ears, then I tried to give them eyes, and as you can see, one looks rather evil and the other rather nice.

Happy new Year! After a fantastic month of Christmas Break(and little Interent Access at my Great-Grannie) I have finally updated. I am charging the batteries in my camera as I type this, and later tonight, I will have a tasty sample of the weeks Bento's. I had 5 for the week, and it looks like I'll need to make more, 6 courses and 3 labs, a shift or two at work and I am eating out of my home more than in. That's the beauty of bento, I save loads of money on take-aways and when I do takeaway or go to a restuarant I really enjoy it.

Been Busy, But Still Bento-ing

This was a very busy Bento, The patio door at my place shattered and I had to leaf through Emergency Glass Repair People and eat my lunch.

Okay, For the stress, I had leftover homemade Pizza/Calzone/Pocket of delicious cheese and green peppers, and for spice a mini Tabasco for flavour. Also some Orange segments for, well, nutrition and a few mini iced cockies and a serving of dried fruit.

This lunch was a blessing in disguise, it's not every day your glass doors crack, you need a little boost to get through the telephone estimates and my mystified expression of 'Just How Much Is This Going To Cost!' Made Tuition seem like a chump change.

This is just a close up of all the cracks that spread over the entire door.

Yes, Exams are over and I can stop procrastinating, today I am making my New Year's Resolutions, to not Procrastinate!

Later today, the Bento Blog will continue!

Bento 13

Compartments.

(The day I had this, I just couldn't stand food touching other food)

I, like many young people, grew up in a world where food didn't touch other food. Mothers carefully plated peas a great distance fromt the mash potatoes and I was spoiled. As I got older, to the Rip Old Age I am at now, I taught myself to eat mixed foods, I tolerated it for years, but have come to love my Bubble-and-Squeak (That's British for, Carrots, Peas and Potatoes all mashed together). The day I ate this was an off day, I was feeling icky and all I wanted was to stay in my warm bed, eat Chicken Soup and watch the Price is Right. But I couldn't, it was a Tueday, and I have class all day.

So, this became a quick comfort, that and my Thermos of Chicken Soup.

We have Bananas, Oranges, Berries, Walnuts, Dried Cranberries and a mustard and white bread sandwitch. Easy to digest and nothing was touching. It was heaven. How will I ever go back to my haphazard Bento ways.


Comming Soon : That Bio Bento, I am working out the details, I have a few planned study sessions, and I need to make a few study Lunches.

Sorry.

I have been stressed over biology mid-terms, assignments, presentations, just like everyone else at Nipissing. It is no excuse for my terrible neglect for this blog. I need to pull everything together for the end of this semester.

My plan for the end of the week.

Finish Presentation
Start Film Paper
Do 2 Film Journals
Re-read Bio Lecture (X2)
Review a Ensc. Article
And...Bento Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Yes, This was Halloween, I know, that was Weeks Ago

(I am a terrible, terrible person for not updating)

Halloween, yes, this is up late for Halloween, but I did eat it on the Halloween Friday.

We have, in the centre, a Rye Bread Coffin, with cheese inside. It has an authentic cross and crack for aestetics. In the bottom Left Corner, a meriange ghost with chocolate chip eyes, underneath are some peanut butter bannana rolls (nothing scarier than peanuts in public, no boby wants to be around them) We have in the top Corner a Bat Cookie I made, and a cheese tombstone, again with authentic Halloween R.I.P. And for added nutrition, raddish flowers, grave sites need flowers. Ooh, and candy corn, yum. Yes, Halloween, very spooky. Very tasty.

I wish I had dressed up for Halloween at the University, absolutly noboody did, well escept for Oscar the Grouch, if any of you saw him. If I had had supportive friends (you know who you are) we could have gone, but we are talkers, not doers when it comes to things like this. It is probably for the best, I really wanted to go as a box of kraft dinner.

Comming Soon: Next couple of weeks I have my Bio Exam, how convient, so I will need a tasty pre-test bento breakfast to get me through the stress and maximize on sleep. I'm thinking, since it is on enzymes and DNA structure, what about a tasty Double Helix or maybe The Krebs Cycle is organge segements? Why leave the books on my living room floor, who said I can't have a study session in my kitchen?
